Woman on the Edge of Time

by Marge Piercy
Woman on the Edge of Time
Woman on the Edge of Time

Futuristic dystopia through Chicana woman's sanity struggle.

"Woman on the Edge of Time" by Marge Piercy is a compelling read if you're intrigued by stories that blend social commentary with speculative fiction. Piercy dives deep into the themes of feminism, societal norms, and environmentalism, all wrapped up in a narrative that's as much an exploration of mental health as it is a stark vision of possible futures. Connie's journey may resonate with you if you appreciate narratives that challenge the distinction between reality and illusion, while also offering a critique of the societal structures we take for granted.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

First published in 1979, Marge Piercy's novel is both a drama of survival and a Utopian epic. Connie Ramos, 37, Mexican-American and unfairly incarcerated in a mental hospital, is the enduring central character in a book about differing visions of the future.
